Liverpool began the new season against West Ham with two of their big-name summer signings in their starting line-up and another two on the bench.

Here, Press Association Sport looks at how the Anfield new boys fared in the 4-0 win.

Alisson Becker

The £65million goalkeeper was brought in from Roma to address a long-term weakness in Jurgen Klopp’s side, but, on this occasion, the Reds hardly needed their last line of defence. This was a quieter a debut than any keeper could expect. The Brazilian was hardly tested, being called into action just once in the first half when Fabian Balbuena directed a header straight at him. The second half was a similar story and he dealt comfortably with a long-range Michail Antonio shot.

Naby Keita

The Guinea international made his long-awaited Liverpool debut, over a year after the deal to sign him was agreed, and he did not disappoint. The £52.75million midfielder was composed, tidy and energetic, looking to probe forward but willing to get back when needed. His range of passing was good and there was some neat one-touch football from him, as well as the driving run which led to the opening goal. An assured and impressive start – although he will not want to see a replay of his sliced shot in the second half.

The former Stoke playmaker was only introduced eight minutes from time and had little opportunity to make an impression. That did not prevent him from quickly getting into the action, however, with a couple of driving runs at the heart of the West Ham defence and some promising link-up play with Mohamed Salah.

The £43.7million Brazilian will have to wait another week for his debut having not been called off the bench by manager Klopp.
